This video tutorial teaches how to find circumcenters and in-centers of triangles using angle bisectors, perpendicular bisectors, and circles. It explains the concept of perpendicular bisectors as lines that divide a triangle's side into two equal parts at a right angle. The video also covers angle bisectors, which split an angle into two equal parts, and discusses the multiple centers of a triangle, including the Euler line. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for constructing circumcenters and in-centers, highlighting the intersection points of bisectors as key triangle centers.
